Suppress file deletion confirmation on remote server in Invoke-Command

Hi!
I try create function used for removing folders (and all content) on remote servers .
$FullPathToDelete="\\"+("$Computername\$BasePath\$FolderToDelete").Replace("\\","\")
if (Test-Path $FullPathToDelete -pathType container ) {
$ScriptBlockContent = {
paramater($FullPathToDeleteLocal)
Get-ChildItem -Path $FullPathToDeleteLocal -Recurse | Remove-Item -Force $true -Recurse $true -Confirm:$false | Out-Null
Invoke-Command -Computername $Computername -ScriptBlock $ScriptBlockContent -ArgumentList $FullPathToDelete -AsJob
Remove-Item -Path $FullPathToDelete -Force | Out-Null
Example values for variables
$Computername = "SPPL09281"$BasePath="D$"$FolderToDelete="FolderName"
All work but for every computer (I use this code in a loop) I receive additional prompt for confirmation
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
11 Job11 Running True SPPL09281 ...Confirm
The item at Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::\\SPPL09281\D$\FolderName has children and the Recurse
parameter was not specified. If you continue, all children will be removed with the item. Are you sure you want to
continue?
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"):
How I can avoid these confirmation prompts?
Thank you in advance.
Wojciech Sciesinski

Hi Wojciech,
In addition, The original confirm is reminding the folder you want to delete has subfiles, please try to add -recurse parameter:
$FullPathToDelete="\\"+("$Computername\$BasePath\$FolderToDelete").Replace("\\","\")
if (Test-Path $FullPathToDelete -pathType container ) {
$ScriptBlockContent = {
paramater($FullPathToDeleteLocal)
Get-ChildItem -Path $FullPathToDeleteLocal -Recurse | Remove-Item -Force -Recurse -Confirm:$false | Out-Null
Invoke-Command -Computername $Computername -ScriptBlock $ScriptBlockContent -ArgumentList $FullPathToDelete -AsJob
Remove-Item -Path $FullPathToDelete -Recurse -Force
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

How can you run a command with elevated rights on a remote server with invoke-command ?

I am trying to run a script on a remote server with invoke-command. The script is starting and is running fine, but the problem is that it should be running with elevated rights on the remote server. On the server where I start the invoke-command, my account has the necessary rights.
The server were I launch the invoke-command is a W2K8 R2. The remote box is a W2K3 with powershell v2.0 installed.
When I launch the script on the remote-box from the command line, I don't get the access denied's.
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks in advance

The script that I want to run is to install the windows updates. I get an access denied on the download of the updates.
When I execute the script on an W2K8 box, (not remotely) and I run it with non-elevated rights, I get the same error.
The script is running fine when it is launched on W2K3 box locally with a domain account that has local admin rights, or on a W2K8 R2 server with a domain account that has local admin rights, but with elevated rights.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Sql loader issue(How to specify a file that exists on remote server)

In sqlldr infile parameter I'd like to give a data file that exists on remote server.How can I specify???Please help me in the syntax.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: 792353 on Sep 24, 2010 7:22 AM

sqlldr can accept any path that is VALID and it can be any type of share as long as the OS supports the share.
so INFILE can be anything you want as sqlldr will simply attempt to access it via the OS.
if you are on a linux box going to another linux box with an NSF mount point on the box running sqlldr simply reference:
INFILE '/mountpoint/fname'
Now I have never tried a UNC path before but I would guess that if you are on a windows box, going to another winddows box and the box running sqlldr was logged in with the right permissions it would simply be:
INFILE '\\server\directory\file'
I doubt that it will accept a URL as in:
INFILE '//servername.com/directory/file'
I don't think that sqlldr does anonymous ftp or htp file transfer protocol, but I could be wrong.
NOTE: I have found that it is best to ALWAYS surround your INFILE parameter with single quotes.

C# Run VB Script file remotely thriugh PowerShell Invoke Command

I have a requirement where need to run vbscript remotely through PowerShell Invoke command. I can run the VB Script locally but not remotely as the vbscript file is not present on the remote machine. I don't want to copy the script file on remote machine.
Please let me know how to run vb script on remote machine. Below is the code.
Collection<PSObject> output
= null;
        using
(Runspace runSpace =
RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace())
            runSpace.Open();
            using
(Pipeline pipeline = runSpace.CreatePipeline())
RunspaceInvoke invoke =
new RunspaceInvoke();
PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create();
                ps.Runspace
= runSpace;
                ps.AddCommand("invoke-command");
                ps.AddParameter("ComputerName",
"RemoteServerName");
ScriptBlock sb = ScriptBlock.Create("cscript E:\\Test\\DeleteFiles.vbs");
                ps.AddParameter("ScriptBlock", sb);
                output

Hello Parveen,
Please refer to the following thread
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/7562eefb-7fba-4bf6-834e-82256f159155/run-script-on-remote-macine?forum=csharpgeneral
See his code:
You can use WMI to create processes on a remote machine. In C#, use the ManagementClass.
using System;
using System.Management;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MyClass
public static void RunNotepad()
ManagementPath p = new ManagementPath(@"\\targetMachine\root\cimv2:Win32_process");
ManagementClass m = new ManagementClass(p);
m.InvokeMethod("Create", new Object[] {"notepad.exe"});
See: Creating Processes Remotely
Note that the the scrpt file is not executable so you have to create script like this:
cscript.exe "\\yourmachine\script\test.vbs".

Access a file physically on a remote server

Hi,
Is there any way we can access a file using the physical path on a remote server? I need to read and delete content of a remote directory on the LAN. All I got so far is access denied so I wonder if it's possible.
Here's the situation:
On a web server using IIS and Tomcat, my JSP page tries to read a distant file using a path like \\172.31.3.3\reports\file.html. Once it's read, I have to delete it.
What windows user is accessing the file? What permissions does he need?
I could access it using HTTP but the problem would be to delete it. I don't know any way to delete a file using HTTP. Any idea?
Thanks for any help,
Stephane

You can also use jcif. If the file is on a windows based computer you'll need to share the directory. If it is on a Unix/Linux based computer you'll have to install/enable samba. In either case you'll probably need a user name/password. Check out http://jcifs.samba.org/

Write records to a Flat file & Ftp to a remote server

I know this would be a basic question for most of the ppl in this forum, but I am stuck in here.
There is a "Orders" table, and when new orders are made , I need to build a file with relevant information(extracted from tables) and FTP to a remote server.There should be a SQL job that would run for every 30 mins to see if there are any new orders made , and if so, Write them to a file and FTP back to a remote server.
The orders that were written to a file previously shouldn't appear when new files are created.
How can this be done..?
Thanks in advance..

You'd need 3 basic components here
1) Something to identify new orders
2) Something to write whatever data you want to a flat file
3) Something to FTP that file
#2 is going to be the UTL_FILE package
#3 is going to require a third-party PL/SQL (or Java) FTP library. If you do a Google search on UTL_FTP, you'll find a few such PL/SQL packages or you can download an appropriate Java class and load that into the database.
#1 can be as simple as a Status column that gets set to NEW initially and PROCESSED when the file is generated. Or it could get a lot more complicated with something like Streams capturing changes to the table and sending those change records to a separate consumer process that would then generate the file and FTP it.

How can I delete messages from the local Sent folder without deleting from the remote server?

I am running out of disk space on my local machine. Analysing this, I can see that a large amount of space is being taken up by local storage of Sent emails from my IMAP synchronised account.
I do not see how I can delete the local copies from my PC without them being deleted from the Server as well. There is an account setting option under Synchronisation and Storage to delete messages, but it says they will be deleted from both the local machine and the remote server.
I need to keep the server versions as these are business accounts and it is important I have all my old messages stored somewhere.

Short answer: get a bigger hard disk.
You could disable synchronization and free up the space on your local disk without loosing the messages. However, this would eliminate the possibility to create backups of your messages.<br>
Since you mentioned this is important business mail, you shouldn't take chances.

Please advise.

Using a servlet to read a pdf file that is in remote server

Hi,
I read some topics about how to read a pdf file using a servlet...but my issue is that my pdf files are on a remote Sun solaris server (intranet) and my servlet will be in a public network (internet), so my question is, still be possible to use this solution to read my remote file ? how i can access the remote file ??
any idea from where I can start ??
best regards,
carlos.

You may use a FTP client component to connect with your servlet to the Sun server, retrieve the bytes and serve them to the browser. Instead of reading the stream from a local file, you will be reading from a network socket, but the code -if well written and designed- may be very similar.
There are many good ftp client components for java, you may also use other protocols like HTTP or SCP (ssh file transfer).

Absolute URLs not working when file is on a remote server.

My client has asked me to provide a template for an investor relations section of their website. The HTML page or template for this page will be at the service providers site, but all the images etc. for the page will be linked to files on my clients server. Everything looks fine, but the absolute URL's in the .swf file back to my clients site aren't working.
This is what the service provider's guidlines say, but I'm not sure where the code is supposed to go:
Similarly, newer versions of the Flash Media Player installed by most users have a high level of security enabled by default. This is done to prevent Flash movies from playing on web pages that are hosted on different domains than the movie itself (again, to combat “phishing” or “spoofing”).
You do have the ability to overwrite this feature by proactively developing your Flash file so that it contains the following lines of code:
System.security.allowDomain(“*”)
stem.security.allowInsecureDomain(“*”)
Sy
You should also add the following line of HTML within the embedded Flash call in your HTML template:
<param name=”AllowScriptAccess” value=”always” />
This solution requires edits to the ActionScript of the pre-compiled Flash file, and is not something we can edit. For further guidance and more information, please speak with the developer of your Flash file.
Thanks

the easiest way to deal with security issues is to avoid them. if all files are on the same server, use relative urls.
otherwise, you may have to deal with security issues. whether you do or not, and if you do, how you deal with them, depends on what you're trying to do.
you may be able to use System properties but you may need cross-domain security files.

Disable file deletion confirmation in Lion

How do I do this?

I have (4) Macs running Lion, including a new MacBook Air purchased today. On the MBA, when I want to delete a file, I'm getting a dialog box asking me to confirm the deletion and reminding me that the operation cannot be undone. I never saw this before on the other Macs. It appears nothing is going into the trash which may explain the problem. Can I unblock the trash?

Remote Exchange Powershell invoke command - customize return result

Hi
I am trying to create a powershell which connects to an exchange management shell and executes a command.
[scriptblock]$Command = {Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus | select Name,ContentIndexState}
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri http://$Computername/powershell -Credential $Cred
Import-PSSession $Session
$Returnvalue = $Command.Invoke()
Remove-PSSession $Session
This would return a result like this:
Name : DB02 - Specielle\EXCHANGE01
ContentIndexState : Healthy
Name : DB01 - Standard\EXCHANGE01
ContentIndexState : Healthy
Now how do I create an if-sentence that would check if both are "Healthy" and then return "Echo "Healthy"", else if one is not healthy then return "Echo "Not Healthy""? (I dont need to specify which one that
isn't healthy).
Best Regards,
Soren

Hi Soren,
Give this a try (untested, sorry):
[scriptblock]$Command = {
$healthy = $true
$statusList = Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus
foreach ($status in $statusList) {
If ($status.ContentIndexState -ne 'Healthy2') { $healthy = $false }
If ($healthy) { Write-Output 'Healthy' }
Else { Write-Output 'Not Healthy' }

Empty folders on remote server after synchronization

I am trying to set up a working environment for a very large web site and to get to the point of my post...
Whenever I try and synchronize my FTP with my local copy, I am selecting "Delete remote files not on local drive."
While the files are deleted on the remote server as they should be, it leaves behind empty directories all over the place where these files used to be.
The site is large enough that it takes over an hour to ftp it up to my testing server and I am doing a large amount of cleanup and deleting un-necessary files / directories all over the site. If I am going to have to manually track down every empty directory and remove them one by one, it is going to be faster to completely delete my FTP space and re-upload the site every single time I make some revisions which is a bit ridiclulous.
Isn't deleting the remote directories if I have deleted them locally considered part of SYNCHRONIZATION?
The site is so large that I can go grab a coffee while the synchronization is taking place but it is not quite as bad as re-uploading the entire local copy of the site every time I make significant changes to the site structure.
I guess this is related to why Dreamweaver throws "_notes" folders all over my site CONSTANTLY even when I have design notes turned off for my sites?
I have so many complaints about Dreamweaver and the fact that it pretty much has not improved much at all since Adobe took it over from Macromedia I don't know where to begin. I guess this would be a good place to start LOL!

As much as I hate replying to myself...
I was reading through this thread
http://digg.com/apple/OSXLeopard_Another_Serious_BUG_Unable_to_Browse_SMB_WindowsShares
I tried many of the suggestions one at a time. Unfortunately, I tried way too many suggestions to know if/which any single one was the "fix". The last three configuration changes I made were to disable IPV6, enable SMB sharing, then disable AFP sharing. After each of these, I did "sudo killall Finder" from a terminal.
Now it works for me as desired.
I hope this helps someone else.
